Try the crossover ethernet cable. I connect my Lombard and iBook (700)
via a plain ethernet cable. The iBook will recognize the cable
automatically. In the book you wish to copy files from, set file
sharing on and firewall off. You should see the book in your network.
This works for me, but I have 10.3.9 on both machines.
Hope this helps,
Henry

What about firewire disc mode? I'm not sure what powerbooks had what
capabilities, but I think they both support firewire, don't they? You
boot one machine holding down the t key I think then that machine
looks like a firewire drive to the other machine. That would be the
fastest and easiest I think. You just connect them with a standard 6
pin firewire cable. Faster than a crossover ethernet cable.

Firewire disc mode? Unfortunately, I only have firewire on the iBook
500,
and not on the Wallstreet II.
The Wallstreet II has USB, but only through a PCMCIA card which I have
inserted. . .
How would you recommend doing this with either an Ethernet crossover
cable
or a pair of USB cables routed through a USB hub?
Alternatively, what else might I try?
All the best,

Dear List-mate,
How do I connect two PowerBooks, a Wallstreet II running OS 9.2.2 and
an
iBook 500, running OS X 10.3.9 to one another, so that I can copy
files from
one to the other?
